| Buenos Aires |
Buenos Aires is often called the Paris of South America. It is a large, complex, energetic, port city, and the capital of Argentina that stretches along the Rio de la Plata. Portenos, as the residents are called, there are around 13 million of them, have a rich and diversified cultural identity. Here Italian and German names outnumber Spanish, the lifestyle and architecture are more European than any other city in the Americas.The city is an interesting blend where modern skyscrapers cast their shadows on 19th century houses, tango bars face dusty, treasure-filled, antique shops. Its infrastructure reflects its position as one of the world's largest cities. A few things you should do are La Boca with its brilliantly colored houses and restaurants, Puerto Madero which is a collection of converted warehouses along the Rio Plata, now fashionable restaurants and shops, San Telmo and Recolleta in which you can stroll and get a good feeling of what Argentina is all about.
